Hi everyone i am new here ....i have been reading for awhile and decided i should join in .......i am totally convinced the lc way of eating is for me i have lost weight many times on lc BUT...my problem is staying motivated ...so i thought that maybe by posting and making a commitment that this might help me some ...so a little about me..im 42 yrs old ..single ...i need to loose about 70lbs ...gosh that sounds like alot ..well it is alot i guess ...all my life i was very thin and i dont even care about being skinny i just want to have my confidence back ...i have been in such a rut for such a long time ...i basically go to work and come home every day and my weekends consist of catching up on cleaning my house ..sounds fun huh?? ...i have 2 daughters that live with me and a son that lives just a few miles away ...my son does walk with me from time to time but seems if he doesnt call ME to go walking i dont go ....the extra weight that i have put on has really hindered me i dont want to go anywhere or do anything ...my quality of life really sucks ....i hate to be such a downer and i know that i have to get off my butt and do something about it so thats why im here i need support ...tips...encouragemnet ...ive read many threads and see such support here ..it is sat morn around 5:15 am i ahve to work today ..i am getting my menu planned this weekend so that i can get started monday on my lc ing ..i will weigh and take measurements and post them here ...
i appreciate you all taking time to read this and appreciate any advice you can give me ...my son lost amost 100 lbs lc ing and he is very motivational and informative ....but he has a life ..lol....

How's it going? Glad to hear your son has had such success doing lc - nice to have support and understanding nearby.

Have you stuck to the walking?

Once you see how good lc and exercise feel I'm sure you'll never stop! Hang in there!
